64k crore deal for 26 Rafale-M jets to be inked with France on Monday
Friday, 25 April 2025 () India is set to finalize a significant Rs 63,887 crore deal with France on Monday for 26 Rafale-Marine fighter jets, primarily for the INS Vikrant. The agreement, encompassing 22 single-seat and four twin-seat Rafale-M jets, includes weapons, training, and maintenance support.
France is ramping up its defense strategy with plans to deploy nuclear-armed Rafale jets near the German border. President Emmanuel Macron announced a €1.5 billion upgrade to Luxeuil air base, which will house these advanced fighter jets equipped with hypersonic nuclear missiles by 2035. As tensions rise across Europe, this move has sparked concerns of a new arms race, with Russia warning the move could escalate regional instability. Is this a step toward stronger EU security or a dangerous gamble?
